After a claim occurs, one of the first questions we ask policyholders is, “Do you have a full copy of your insurance policy?”
The reason for this question is this is “the Bible,” letting us know as your potential representative, what coverages you have in your policy that will enable us to assist you with your claim.
There are clauses and information that mean something to AJR, with our 32 + year experience. Knowing where to look in the policy for additional coverages is the benefit of hiring an experienced public adjuster to represent you with your insurance claim.
This policy was probably given to you when you first signed up with the insurance company. Over the years, the insurance company may have only sent renewal letters and not the complete policy again.
A sample letter adapted from a United Policyholders template shows how to request your insurance carrier this policy that is needed to negotiate your claim for you.
